Description:
The Import OFX/QFX command is missing from gnucash, probably since the last update. Without this command gnucash is almost useless to me (I guess I'll be typing transactions in by hand for a while...)

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.2.5-1


Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S gnucash
gnucash

File > Import
The Import OFX/QFX command is missing.
This task depends upon

The only current options in File>Import are for QIF files and GnuCash .log files

Fixed it -- libofx needs to be installed (it's in [extra]) and then you can compile from source. Fortunately I had kept the old PKGBUILD script from when gnucash was in AUR, so I just adapted that to the current version and everything works. Attached the modified pkgbuild.

Thank you Felix, its working now.

NOTE: libofx is in community, not in extra.

looks like the bug here is that libofx is needed to be added to makedepends

What's the status of this issue?

libofx needs to be pulled into extra
Additionally, I think I might want to get aqbanking back into gnucash as well, but I remember the deps being a headache there.

Let me get Marq to comment on this (he's my personal gnucash expert :)

I think i may deserve the blame on this one. I'm not sure why it happened, but libofx was removed from the PKGBUILD when it was brought back to extra from AUR. I remember we removed aqbanking due to its brokenness and chain of dependencies in AUR/community, but for the life of me i can't recall why libofx was excluded. I am attaching an updated 2.2.7-2 PKGBUILD which just adds the 'libofx' dependency as this brings back the "Import OFX/QFX" menu option (it also remove 'iso-codes' as  FS#12081  has been closed). I don't use the "Import OFX/QFX" feature myself, so i leave it to you test it that it is functioning properly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Has there been any progress in getting the fixed version into the distribution? I wonder because the current pacman version of extra/gnucash still doesn't have support for importing OXF files.
